If you spend hours in front of the mirror each day poring over the little openings on the top of your skin and willing them to disappear before you take an Instagram selfie, you're not alone.
In fact, obsessing over our pores - from the size to the number of them - is the beauty industry's latest preoccupation.
This is so much the case that dermatologists have coined a word for this pore fixation - 'porexia'.
